Awesome work! I have found those cases from HF are awesome for these types of projects. I made an electrical hub in the back of my Tacoma with the same case:
My wiring isn't anywhere near as clean as yours though ha.
Damn I wish I knew about this setup before I got the IAG one. I still haven't opened that box, I might try to return it. I'd be interested to see how it works reliability wise on the system since a lot of the other ones (ma bett etc) were sometimes finickey.
*EDIT* Looks like IAG introduced a...
Did some solo exploring with my son and got stuck on an optional line. Was a good time.

Easy enough recovery.

So I knew that the pre '23 Wildtraks didn't come with the Hoss 3.0 shocks but I guess it didn't come with the upgraded steering as well then? And the one you got now is basically the Hoss 3.0/raptor setup now right?
Yup, super easy. Just don't be a dumbass like me and think you can get away with installing it without removing the wheels. Way easier that way, though I still needed my extendable magnet to hold the nut while I threaded the bolt.
The current next project is getting this RC hidden winch setup installed. I spent the majority of the time so far fabricating mounts for the solenoid and isolator, as well as finding a solution to actuating the free spool clutch without opening the hood.
Brackets in design/testing...
Finally finished fixing the Tacoma, I love it when both are in the driveway together.

Finally sold my soft top and made some purchases.
First up on board air to go with the morr flate air hose system I already had for the Tacoma. The Tacoma has a 10 LB CO2...
I gotta thank you for the inspiration. Splitting the solenoid from the isolator definitely cleaned everything up and I like that the three main wires from the solenoid are going to be a much shorter run than trying to package and bundle the wires for a longer run. This is my version:

If it is taking advantage of the soft top mounting points which it looks like it partially does, the soft tops have different trim that are notched out already.
Isn't that normal operating temps though? Or trying to gauge how often you should be swapping fluid?

Biggest thing at least whenever I regeared was to minimize heat build up on break in.
The winch is clearly above the IC though.
@tobyw Do you feel like the two bolts is more than enough to support the solenoid? I was test fitting mine last night after I completely switched directions from where I was going to mount mine after seeing this setup. I could see that for the most...
Installed some shock skids from Lobo for my Wildtrak. IIRC only 2 brands made them, Lobo and Foutz.
